More about Dr. Sonal Dave, MD

I am committed to ensuring that my patients have a great experience at every level when they come to Eye Health Northwest. That includes everything and everyone contributing to an overall atmosphere of positive, quality care. Dr. Dave is a specialist in cornea and refractive surgery. She also practices comprehensive ophthalmology and sees patients with a wide range of eye conditions. Dr. Dave has a deep sense of compassion in her medical practice. Upon meeting her, patients immediately appreciate her warmth and positive energy. “I think what patients want and appreciate the most is that we give them our full attention and time. I focus on really listening to them and try to give the best possible care.” Patients of Dr. Dave benefit from her kindness as well as her intelligence. She completed her residency at the prestigious Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. She has been a noted participant in numerous research projects, including presentations at both national and international ophthalmology conferences. In addition, she serves on several national ophthalmology discussion panels and committees. She is also a published author in ophthalmology literature. Part of what drew Dr. Dave to ophthalmology was the ability to help so many people and transform lives in minutes. For example, Dr. Dave has seen many of her cataract patients stumble into a room before surgery because they cannot see. Cataract surgery takes approximately fifteen minutes. Immediately afterwards, people walk out steadily with their vision intact. When I can help someone in this way, it is the best reward possible. Also, after LASIK surgery, patients often say, Thank you so much. This has been a life-changing experience.
